A positive charge of q is located 5.90 m to the left ofa negative charge q . The charges have differentmagnitudes. On the line through the charges, the netelectric field is zero at a spot 1.11 m to the right of thenegative charge. On this line there are also two spotswhere the potential is zero. (a) How far to the left ofthe negative charge is one spot?(b) How far to theright of the negative charge is the other?
